Market environment

  • March was marked by the US strikes on Iran, triggering a broader conflict in the Middle East and a rapid escalation in regional tensions. Repeated strikes on energy infrastructure and the disruption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz led to a significant energy shock, with oil prices rising above $110 per barrel, fuelling inflation pressures and amplifying stagflation risks, particularly in Europe.
  • The month was characterised by a sharp repricing of monetary policy expectations. In the US, markets moved from pricing several rate cuts to almost none by year-end, while in the euro area expectations shifted from cuts to nearly three hikes following the escalation in the Middle East.
  • This repricing led to a sharp rise in sovereign yields, particularly at the front end, resulting in a marked flattening of yield curves. Two-year yields rose by around +42bps in the US and +62bps in Germany, while 10-year yields increased by approximately +38bps and +36bps, respectively. Credit spreads widened significantly, with the iTraxx Xover up 93bps to above 360bps.
  • Emerging debt posted a sharp negative performance in March amid a deterioration in global risk sentiment driven by geopolitical tensions. Hard-currency sovereign bonds recorded their worst monthly performance in over three years, impacted by rising US Treasury yields and spread widening. Local currency debt also declined, with FX accounting for more than half of the drawdown and Colombia standing out as a notable exception.
  • EM Equities recorded a sharp decline during the month, driven by oil importing countries in Asia (Korea, Taiwan and India) that are particularly vulnerable to energy price increases.
  • On currencies, emerging market FX weakened over the month. Depreciation was widespread in a risk-off environment, but remained more contained than in previous stress episodes, supported by stronger fundamentals and proactive central bank responses. Some currencies proved resilient, notably the Argentine peso, Colombian peso and renminbi.

Performance commentary

  • Over the month, the Fund delivered a negative performance.
  • On the Equity side, we were impacted by the decline of our S. Korean holdings (SK Hynix, Samsung) that suffered from the selloff of Asian Markets amid energy price shock as well as our platform businesses, amid concerns over weaker profitability prospects driven by increasing competition in AI.
  • The Fund’s hard-currency sovereign exposure also detracted from overall performance, notably due to the weakness of our positions on Egypt and Romania external bonds. However, our credit protection strategies helped offset most of these losses.
  • Even though we reduced our exposure to EM local bonds, our local rate positions detracted from performance, particularly our positions in South African and Polish bonds.
  • Currencies had a negative overall contribution. While a few positions, such as the Kazakh tenge and Thai baht, contributed positively, most of currencies weighed on performance, notably the US dollar and the South African rand.

Outlook strategy

  • Against a backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions and a broad market sell-off, we have reduced the overall risk profile of the portfolio by increasing our selectivity and focusing on relative value opportunities. We notably reduced our net equity exposure from 24% to 9% and lowered our modified duration from 230bps to around 140bps.
  • In a context of elevated energy prices and a resurgence in inflationary pressures, we maintain our exposure to inflation-linked bonds in selected markets (Brazil, and Poland),
  • We remain invested in local currency debt, although we slightly reduced our exposure over the month. We favored markets such as South Africa and Poland, as well as selected Latin American countries, and added a tactical position in Romania.
  • Despite a more unstable environment, we maintained a stable allocation in hard currency sovereign debt, keeping our core convictions in Romania, Côte d’Ivoire, and Egypt. We also increased our exposure to Ecuador and strengthened our credit protection strategies, notably through CDS on indices and single names.
  • On equities, we maintain a positive bias, focusing on companies with structural growth, high earnings visibility, and strong balance sheets. Asia remains a core pillar of the portfolio, notably through exposure to the artificial intelligence value chain, with high-conviction positions in SK Hynix and TSMC, alongside diversification into China and Latin America. Over the month we reduced our exposure to India, reflecting near-term headwinds including capital outflows, weaker liquidity, slowing earnings growth and currency pressures, while maintaining strong conviction in its long-term potential.
  • Finally, we significantly reduced our exposure to the euro (around 25%) and increased our US dollar exposure (around 36%). In emerging currencies, we increased our exposure to selected Latin American currencies benefiting from higher energy prices.
